10/23 - 10/24 Class Update

Yesterday, we did a Battles of the American Revolution QR Scavenger Hunt. We ran around the square on the first floor (foreign language hall, science hall, history hall, and the hallway leading to the cafeteria) looking for pieces of paper with a QR code taped to the wall. Each of the QR codes linked to a question or hint to determine what battle from the American Revolution each one was.

Today, we watched a video on art of the American Revolution. One of the artists that was mentioned was John Singleton Copley, the person I did my Revolutionary Replica on. I already knew most of what was said about the two paintings he did because of this, but I still learned things about him and the other artists. John Singleton Copley, John Trumbull, Emanuel Luetze, and Grant Wood all used triangles/arranging the subjects in triangles in their works. I hadn't noticed that before it was said.

(Mr Boyle, if you see this before school tomorrow, DON'T FORGET THE MONSTERS INC DVD!!)
